i am getting a job at subway but the only way to get there is to ride a bike, i dont have a car right now. How long should it take to ride 9 miles?

I'd plan for an hour if not in shape. I steady cruise no stops is like 11mph. A fast cruise is 15+ mph. You sure will be in good shape!

Know way to know what your ride is like , what bike you will use or the shape you're in. Leave an hour before your start time the 1st time then adjust your time on later rides once you know.

It depends on how many stops and how fast you are going. At about 15 mph nonstop I would say at least 40 minutes

The only way for you to know what you are going to be able to do is for you to try it.

We don't know the terrain, types of roads and traffic,or the type of rider you are.

Ride it and find out and come tell us how you did!
